During my
short visit to Barcelona I went with my sister to Park Güell, one of the many masterpieces of the well known architect: Gaudí. We arrived very
early in the morning to avoid the large touristy crowds and keep the pictures
clean. Gaudí is well known for his natural-like style when it came to designing
his work. His projects overflow with organic elements and movement. I think it´s
worth it to take some time and admire every detail… it´s almost as if those
places were alive and in constant growth together with nature.

As you
might have seen on my previous post, it´s summer where I am now … and one of
the things I love most about summer is that I feel like wearing white clothes. I
think that wearing bright neutrals go well together with the
luminosity and enhance the cheerfulness of this time of the year.

For this
outfit I paired my white pants with one of my favorite t-shirts of this season,
in that oh-so-trendy color called mint, and a pair of slightly new sandals that
I bought recently at a local Italian shoe store called Eve Milano (they have
really cute stuff and not expensive compared to other places I’ve seen around
here). And to add a pop of color I added this beautiful printed scarf and a
hint of teal on my eyes.

How do you
pair white pants? Do you wear them at all?

What was I wearing? t-shirt, earrings and scarf from H&M, white pants from Zara, and Eve Milano sandals.

When we were teenagers she had quite the fascination for photography… She took classes, investigated different techniques, tested several effects and shutter speeds, among other experiments. Many times I´d pretend I was a model
and play for her lens.

But eventually she got over it.

So, when I asked if we could do some pictures for the blog together she
liked the idea, but doubted herself. She thought her skills were too rusty to be able to pull it off. But I told her that that kind of training is never lost. Very much like riding a bicycle… even if you haven´t ridden it for 2 years, as soon as
you go on it again your body remembers exactly how to operate.

I think these pictures speak for themselves and support my theory. LOVE
YOU sistaaa, thanks for your artistic collaboration!

As to the clothes: This dress was one of the very last things I bought
before I left the states. I liked it SO MUCH that I almost get another one in a
different color. I think its shape can be flattering for different body
types and the lacey texture makes it very feminine. And well, its orange. To
see more of my obsession with this color, click here and here for a softer version.

A few weeks ago I went with Gui to the
“Mole Antonelliana”, the most famous architectural landmark of Torino and
therefore one of the most important touristy spots in the city. Built in 1863
it was initially meant to be a synagogue but a few years later the City Council
bought the property and made it a national monument.

Since we arrived at Torino I knew
about it so I thought it´d be interesting to go visit and do a little cultural
activity…

There are two things that you can
do at La Mole:

On the one hand it has an elevator
that takes you to the top of the building where there is a sightseeing deck
from where you can see Torino in 360°. The view is absolutely amazing!
However, I wouldn’t recommend it to those afraid of heights… the elevator is
made of clear glass –just like Willy Wonka´s Great Glass Elevator- and you can
look down as it goes up! Jees!

On the other hand, since year 2000,
they have added a museum dedicated entirely to the history of cinema. There is
so much to see! Along 5 different floors you can see extremely old cameras,
movies and other devices as well as more contemporary elements, short films and
such. I honestly thought I wasn´t going to enjoy it very much, but my
expectations were certainly exceeded as I walked through it! I really liked it.

If you come this way make sure you
check it out.

These are the pictures of that day.

What cultural activities have you
done lately?

What am I wearing? Dress from H&M, black cardi (this is for you Schmidt!) and leopard flats from Zara, jeggings from ViaVai Panamá, envelope clutch from ASOS, Rayban sunnies and Swatch watch.
